To me, this sounds like Alphaproof receives a "problem", whatever that is (how do you formalize "determine all X such that..."? One is asked to show that an abstract set is actually some easily understandable set...). Then it generates candidate Theorems, persumably in Lean. I.e. the set is {n: P(n)} for some formula or something. Then it searches for proofs.

I think if Alphaproof did not find {foo} but it was given then it would be very outrageous to claim that it solved the problem.

I am also very hyped.
